Bug (from console): 
5/12/10 3:59:45 PM Installer[32418] The following install step failed: run postflight script for NetBeans 6.8. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. 


I have 2 internal logical drives, and am trying to install on the second logical (not the one I always boot with). I run ProTools from my 'HD2', yet most of my apps are on 'HD1'.  

PS. Related to Issue 115779.

That is likely the issue. Currently installation is only possible to the main drive, and NetBeans is always installed at /Applications/NetBeans/
Could you please try to install it at HD1? After installation you can move "NetBeans 6.8.app" (from /Applications/NetBeans/) anywhere you like.
